Tony,

Lithium Ion is a different chemistry than li-po.
I would choose to be safe rather than sorry and buy both the battery and charger. If you are going to be operating portable over a long weekend, consider a 2nd battery.

Yes, it can be powered from an external power source through the 2.1mm coaxial jack.  For best results, the power supply should have a voltage of 13.8 volts or more - up to 15 volts is OK.
BTW - the internal battery can plug into that jack as well.

Hi Don,
I am sure they have done it correctly but I have a number of different charges for li-po and other type batts so was just thinking of either not getting the charger or just providing another batt as it only seems to connect via 2wire connection for powering the rig.
